I know that if someone takes mail out of your mail box, it
is considered a crime of either tampering or theft. BUT,
what if they get the mail by having a child take it from
the mailbox under duress? My ex had my daughter get mail
from my mailbox (yes, she lives with me) and when she told
him "No" he threatened her activities with him that
weekend. I called the Postal Investigator and they can't
help me, they suggested I get a PO box, which would entail
me driving 4 miles everyday just to get my mail. They
said because the child did it, they can't get in the
middle of it. I did call our local PD and I have to go in
and discuss it with an officer, they couldn't help me over
the phone. I guess my point is, that if he had made my
daughter steal something from a store, that would be a
crime, but this isn't??? Please let me know what you
think. Many thanks.
